Since I have to do a lot of backports for the OpenStack packages in Debian Wheezy, I got tired of doing them by hand. Therefore, I have created a script to automate the task. I’m not particularly proud (or ashamed) of that script, but I just want to share it. Probably some fellow readers will happily provide me with enhancements and ideas.
Note that the use of mk-build-deps implies that the “equivs” package has to be installed. What I do is run this “build-backport” script within a cowbuilder, to make sure I always have a clean backport environment.
